How to Rename the Guest Account in Windows 10

[silversurfer]

Command Prompt

Launch an elevated Command Prompt (a Command Prompt window with administrator privileges – type cmd.exe in the Start menu > right-click the result > Run as administrator) and type the following command:

Code:

wmic useraccount where name=’OldName’ rename ‘NewName’

Obviously, you need to replace the OldName and the NewName tags with the names that you want to use for the guest account. If you are using the default settings, the command should look like this:

Code:

wmic useraccount where name=’Guest’ rename ‘NewName’

Computer Management

Additionally, changing the name of the guest account is possible from the Computer Management screen. In this case, you only have to right-click the Windows 10 Start menu > Computer Management, or click the Start menu/press Windows key + R and type compmgmt.msc.
Navigate to the following location in the Computer Management screen:

Code:

System Tools > Local Users and Groups > Users

Expand the list of users and you should see the Guest account in the list. Just right-click this account > Rename and then write down the name that you want to use.
